Went today with my wife and MIL. The verdict: no one liked it. 0 for 3. Their main complaint was that it was too long. I couldn’t disagree, this is a slog. It’s rare that I don’t like a musical, but even the song and dance numbers couldn’t hold my attention, maybe because for obvious reasons they are all gospel/blues based and it gets kind of one-note after a while. I have not read the book or seen the original film, so I can’t comment on that aspect of it, but both my wife and MIL have. They felt it did not do the original story justice. I will say it’s pretty to look at, the dance numbers are well-staged, the period sets are eye candy, basically from a technical perspective it is absolutely fine. But the characters and songs struggled and ultimately failed to hold my attention. I give it a C.

Well, it’s gonna get two 50-something white folks and an 80 something year old MIL in about an hour…

Good to see the early estimates of it dropping Monday vs. Sunday were wrong. They looked off to me from the start. Monday would push it to $74.8m WW per mojo, pending international updates. Might creep past Shin before the weekend, though we may not know it officially.

I think most did last week and this week, but there’s one I know of near me (Indiana) that’s doing this week and next week.

FWIW in their weekend prediction article the numbers has screen estimates of 2,110 for -1 and 1,802 for Heron. Will likely lose more on Monday but for now that’s only down about 500 each.

$1.2m previews for Anyone But You, per the numbers.

Hey, we have -1 numbers! 709k Monday (-57%), 928k Tuesday (+31%), running total $36.05 million.

Godzilla Minus Color

it’s been five years since Aquaman. I’d argue that’s even more of an issue than the recent DC flops. That kind of gap is almost always unbridgeable for sequels these days.

Now that you mention it, this should totally be a musical!

Friday number also takes it over 60 WW.

Yeah, 40 is a lock imo, and I’m pretty confident of 50. 60-75 would be nice but I’m not counting on it.

Up now. 955k, -20%

I don’t think this is numbers or mojo, just Toho not reporting international totals. I don’t think it’s deliberate, like they’re trying to hide something, just a reflection of the (generously) half-baked global rollout they did after the movie blew up in the U.S. They did have releases scheduled for the UK and Brazil for the 15th as part of the initial plan, so hopefully we will get some updates early next week.

$1.46m Tuesday for Heron.

Yeah, I think I’ll pass.

ya never know. WOM still accelerating… https://www.threads.net/@pattonoswalt/post/C0vgFTrOusS

Interesting note: the plane that figured in the film’s climax was based on an actual Japanese fighter prototype that first flew three days before the bombing of Hiroshima. https://www.historynet.com/godzilla-vs-shinden/

Great numbers for Heron.
